Additionally, I have some issues with my neck and would appreciate your advice on that as well. If needed, I can send you my reports for a better understanding. Kindly guide me on how to improve my health and help me work towards a healthier body. I look forward to your response.

High cholesterol needs lifestyle changes such as low fat diet, daily walk, and stress control. If very high and outside normal limits, kindly visit a doctor to start medication. BP monitoring is also needed. Avoid oily foods. For neck issues, maintain posture and see a physiotherapist if pain persists.

I have been following a healthy diet and exercising regularly, and I have successfully lost around 8 kg. I avoid sugar, use minimal olive oil, and include green vegetables and other healthy foods in my diet. Previously, I had fatty liver, but the related values have now returned to normal. However, despite my efforts, some values in my recent reports, specifically HDL, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol are not improving. I am 28 years old, 5.6 inch tall, and currently weigh 68 kg. I have attached my reports. Could you please help me understand why these values are not coming down and if there is anything else I should be doing?
